My Wife Is a Superstar -
Chapter 449
The room fell silent again.
But this time, it wasn't Sir Chen's doing. Instead, it was the kid that had surprised everyone.
"Wow, you're really smart,” Ouyang Qing's assistant praised Dabao awkwardly.
“Even if you flatter me, it doesn’t change the fact that I know it was you who framed Mommy. I hateyou,” Dabao affirmed.
“That's right. I hate you too! I hate anyone that tries to harm Mommy.” Erbao backed her brother upimmediately.
“No, I didn't,” the assistant frantically denied as she looked towards Ouyang Qing.
However, Ouyang Qing didn’t return her look as she herself was in a panic.
Neither of them had expected a child to reveal their scheme.
She knew that the children were really smart as she had seen them demonstrate it previously. Eventhen, their capabilities were way beyond her expectations
It was a huge mistake to have underestimated the children.
“Ms. Qing, is she your subordinate? Why does she keep looking at you?" Dabao blurted out of asudden.
Hearing that, Ouyang Qing freaked out for real this time.
In normal times, Dabao seldom spoke, unlike ordinary children.
However, he suddenly had a lot to say today.
It wasn't that he didn’t know how to talk; he was just not interested in idle chatter. However, hewould still say something whenever it was necessary to do so.
Hence, the moment he opened his mouth, he threw Ouyang Qing into a panic.
As for the rest, they enjoyed watching the events unfold as no one had seen such a genius before.Furthermore, this genius was addressing Ouyang Qing as Ms. Qing. Is Ouyang Qing that weak forthe kid to see her as his peer?
“Ms. Qing, my brother is asking you a question. Why are you staying silent? Are you unable toanswer?” Erbao piled on the pressure.
“Il... of course not.”
Ouyang Qing’s answer was muddled as she wasn't even sure which question she wanted to addressfirst.
She wondered if she should first deny her assistant was acting upon her orders or if she shouldexplain to Erbao why she couldn’t answer.
“Is she one of yours?” Dabao persisted.
“Dabao, watch your tone,” Ning Ran reminded him.
Ning Ran was just pretending to keep Dabao in check. Her heart was actually screaming in joy whenher son and daughter stood up for her. I'm the luckiest mother in the world!
Dabao obeyed his mother and rephrased his question, “Ms. Qing, may I know if she is one ofyours?"
Despite asking the same question, Dabao’s tone was a lot more gentle.
“She is my assistant,” Ouyang answered reluctantly.
“That means she has to obey your instructions?” Dabao cornered her.
Ouyang Qing could no longer hold him back.
This child is too smart! Where did he even come from?
All Ouyang Qing wanted to do was to scream for help at that moment.
“Not entirely. She does disobey me sometimes,” Ouyang Qing frantically defended herself.
“In that case, should I question you about this matter or her?” Dabao continued to shoot her withquestions.
"Of course you have to ask her as I don't know anything. My computer skills are terrible,” OuyangQing replied in a self-deprecating manner.
The moment computer skills were brought up, it struck a nerve with Sir Chen, whose expressionbecame awkward.
He just couldn't shake the feeling that they were talking about him.
“I know what to do.” Dabao jumped off the chair and returned it to Wang Xiaoou. After which, hemotioned her to sit.
Despite just being a child, his actions were chivalrous and demonstrated his potential for greatsuccess in the future.
"Why did you frame my Mommy?" Dabao interrogated the assistant.
The assistant hastily denied, “I didn't. I absolutely didn't!"
“The file only appeared after you did something to it, yes or no?” Dabao questioned.
“Yes or no?" Dabao didn’t even allow her the chance to explain.
"Yes."
“That would mean that you know how to unlock the second layer of security. Can you then explainwhy didn’t you share it with everyone else in this room? You hid it from them on purpose so thatthey assumed that it was Mommy who leaked the script. That is your real objective, so how dare youstill deny that you didn’t frame Mommy?”
Dabao raised his head and glared fiercely at the assistant.
The next moment, Nan Chen's razor-sharp gaze fell upon her. Lost for words, the assistant’s kneesbuckled as she turned towards Ouyang Qing.
"Why are you looking at me? I wasn't aware of what you did, so don't implicate me unnecessarily,alright?” Ouyang Qing snapped.
It was obvious that Ouyang Qing was trying to save her own skin by distancing herself from herassistant.
“I didn't,” the assistant pleaded in despair.
Her boss had made her stand clear. She was by no means to drag Ouyang Qing along with her. Orelse, she would lose her job.
At that moment, the assistant understood that she had to sacrifice herself to protect her boss
“I had no intention of framing Ms. Ding. I, too, stumbled upon the second layer of security,” theassistant tried to deflect the accusation away.
When it appeared that her assistant was prepared to shoulder the blame, Ouyang Qing heaved asigh of relief. She was glad that her assistant made the sensible choice.
“Since you obviously knew about the extra layer of security and wasn't being truthful about it, that'sthe same as framing Mommy on purpose. It doesn't matter if you admit it or not as the facts speakfor themselves. Besides, Mommy didn’t see the contents in the USB drive, so it's impossible for herto be the one to leak it. So the only suspect left is you! As only you know how to bypass the extrasecurity and have access to its contents. While everyone assumes that it was Mommy who did it,you were the real culprit all along!”
Every single word that came out of Dabao’s mouth was sharp and crisp. The more he spoke, themore gravitas he emitted.
Watching Dabao handle the situation, Nan Chen felt extraordinarily proud. The apple doesn't fall farfrom the tree!
“I didn't. I really didn't!” the assistant meekly denied.
"Miss, there's nothing between us, so why are you doing this to me? Why are you sabotaging me?”Ning Ran asked.
“I really didn't sabotage anyone... I didn't leak it!"
“In that case, we have no choice but to hand you over to the police. A lot of effort had been spenton coming up with the script, and it's also considered a commercial secret. As a result, you will bepunished by the law!” Nan Chen threatened out of a sudden.
When the words came out of Nan Chen's mouth, it sounded especially terrifying.
As long as Nan Chen wanted to, he would be able to punish her severely. There was no need for thepolice to even get involved.
In fact, Nan Chen's punishment might easily be harsher than what the police could dish out.
The assistant abandoned the charade. “It's my fault! But I was just following orders — leaking thescript wasn't my original intention.”
At that moment, Ouyang Qing could feel her heart squeeze. Clenching her fists under the table, herpalms were filled with sweat.
“I know that it wasn't your intention, so tell us, whose intention was it? Who ordered you to do it?”Glaring at the assistant, Nan Chen looked as if he could see through her easily.
“It's...” the assistant's expression became awkward.
“Just spit it out! Don't beat around the bush!” Ouyang Qing bellowed out of the blue.
Her tone was exceptionally vicious and was out of character with her usual demure demeanor.
“I wouldn't dare to say it. I can't.” The assistant burst into tears.
"Why not?” Ning Ran asked.
“Because he has something on me. If I expose him or disobey him, he will punish me..."
The assistant was also great at acting. Actual tears rolled down her cheeks as she put on adevastated expression.
Those that serve Ouyang Qing were all great at faking it. Or else, there was no way they could lastby her side for too long.
“Tell us, who is it? Stop keeping us in suspense!”
“That's right, spit it out quick! Who ordered you to do it?”
Meanwhile, all the investors and their representatives peppered her with questions. They felt as ifthey were watching an engaging drama and were simply thrilled.
“It's him! He's the one who ordered me to do it.” The assistant pointed at one of them.
